The most bad awful no good day

The only good thing about it was that I had something to write my sister on a mission about. The boys didn't have school today, so naturally they woke up at the crack of dawn. They immediately demanded breakfast. Did I mention that we had no food? I scrounged something up, and we got ready and took Lily to her 15 month check up. No major problems with the boys, and it was a quick visit. THEN, I stopped to get some food. In a small grocery store. Mostly empty, save a few unsuspecting elderly people. And so QUIET. I put Lily in the cart, and let the boys walk. Ashton immediately stated touching everything, and would not stop, despite repeatedly being told to stop, so I put him in the cart. A few feet further, and they started making a great racket. Chanting, and laughing loudly. Very embarrassing. Then, Gilbert stood on a rack full of bread. Somehow, it didn't get smashed. Put Gilbert in the cart. The howling, chanting, laughing and screaming intensified, with Lily occasionally adding shrieks. I took them out so that I could unload the groceries onto the conveyor belt. Gilbert started grabbing items from the checkout lane and BITING them. I had to buy a candy bar I didn't want. Put him back in the cart. Meanwhile, Ashton is crawling around under the area where people are supposed to bag their groceries. Finally, I managed to get out of that store. At home, Gilbert decided to pee in a toy cup, sit on his sister, and generally run amok. Ashton encouraged him the whole time, and continued to disregard every instruction given. Also, sometimes, when Gilbert is feeling naughty, he poops in his pull up. He wears them at night, and during naps, in case he has accidents while he sleeps. If he is awake, he is supposed to use the potty. He knows this. He refused to use the bathroom when he woke up, and then, he pooped in his pull up. I put him down for a nap. Finally a break, NOT. "Mommy, I poop in my pull up (big grin and laughter)." GRRRR. Really glad this day is over. Good thing I love them.
